KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a settlement with Larry Johnson and agreed Monday to withhold only one week's pay for making gay slurs instead of two.

The settlement saved the two-time Pro Bowl running back about $315,000. His agent, Peter Schaffer, had threatened to take the matter to arbitration.

The Chiefs refused any comment other than to say they had finalized the settlement. Schaffer told the AP on Saturday night the agreement had been reached and needed only to be signed.

Originally, the Chiefs suspended Johnson for two weeks until Nov. 9, including this week's game at Jacksonville. He would have lost about $630,000 if the Chiefs had not backed down and then won the appeal.
